SEPA is an association of amateur and professional painters who paint together regularly outdoors in S.E. Ireland. All artists are welcome. SEPA organises Ireland's 'Art in the Open' plein air festival. SEPA membership is free. NB. As with all Paint-Outs posted on Plein Eire, these events are simply notifications of intent by one individual to be at a particular place and time to paint. Each member's participation is entirely at his/her own risk. No responsibility for harm or loss of person or property on the part of anyone else is intended or implied.

Here are a few ideas for paint-out venues. Please add your own suggestions and we'll get a schedule together for the coming weeks. Your addfitional recommendations welcome.

Ballinkeele House

Newtownbarry House & Gardens

Dunamore Wood (Borodale) (no facilities)

Rosslare Harbour Lagoon

Tinahely

Wexford Beaches

Wexford Gardens

The Still Pond, near Enniscorthy

As ever, it is weather permitting, so in case the organiser needs to cancel, please indicate by RSVP for each event so a single message will let everyone know if an event is 'On' or 'Off'.

In particular, it seems smaller villages where we have access to coffee and a bite and a chance to say'hello' are sought-after venues. Here are some suggestions:

Duncormick, Screen, Killinick, Lady's Island, Clohamon, Saltmills, Slade

Comment by Plein Eire Administrator on February 18, 2015 at 11:59: You'll probably find spring flowers at Borodale Wood, too?

Comment by Michael McGuire on February 18, 2015 at 11:34: I'd be on for it, Annie. I think the weather forecast is fairly OK too. Do you want to put it up as an event - I think now you may have the option to send a group message after doing so - if not let me know and I'll send the message after you've posted it.

Comment by Dick Donaghue on February 18, 2015 at 8:59: We have scheduled Altmont Gardens for later in March already. But going twice is no prob if people want to go this weekend. Might consider it.

Comment by Ann Cahill on February 18, 2015 at 8:01: Great to see lots of events coming up. Would anyone fancy Altomont Gardens this sunday 22nd Feb the snowdrops should still be there. meet at the Forge cafe on the left just before turning for Altomont on the right at 10 45

Comment by Tony Robinson on February 17, 2015 at 23:01: The Huntington Castle gardens at Clonegal are open daily May - September 10.00 to 6.00 pm.(Tickets cost €5 per adult)

If heading beyond the village (which is very pleasant) into the Castle grounds, we need to check first with Huntington Castle.

Comment by Michael McGuire on February 17, 2015 at 20:43: I'll send out a Group message with the schedule, Geraldine when we have 6 events agreed.
